Conclusion: It was determined that the majority of the students 43 (71.7%) have ever consumed an addictive substance, while 17 students (28.3%) have not consumed any addictive substance and that the students also think that the most dangerous substances for their consumption are heroin and cocaine, thus adding up to 73.2%, which are the most dangerous addictive substances for human consumption.
